Vogue Covers : On Fashion
, Little Brown, 2010 Softcover, 240 pages, ENG. edition, 230 x 170 mm, NEW, illustrated in color. ISBN 9781408702130.
Inventive, glamorous, gorgeous - since the beginning VOGUE has set the platinum standard for fashion magazines the world over and has become an icon in its own right. VOGUE's covers sum up the superlative visual ideals of the whole magazine. For the first time, this book brings together in one volume nearly a century of covers both illustrated and photographic. Over two hundred stunning images have been selected from an archive of more than fifteen hundred. What sets VOGUE's covers apart is that each is so bold, so beautiful and so emphatically different. They mark the course of history, chart changing fashions and ideas of beauty and hold up a mirror to the cultural and social revolutions of the twentieth century. Since 1916 VOGUE's covers have celebrated the most striking women of our age, captured by the century's leading photographers, the greatest artists and the most inventive fashion. Brilliant, captivating and full of life, this is the face of the world's most influential magazine and the original style bible.

Lee Miller in Print
, Boijmans van Beuningen, 2025 Paperback, 248 pagina's, 290 x 230 mm, illustraties, Dutch (NL) ed. *nieuw. ISBN 9789069183299.
Als model, muze, fotograaf, oorlogsverslaggever en surrealistisch kok kende Lee Miller (1907-1977) vele levens. Bekend is dat ze op negentienjarige leeftijd op straat werd 'ontdekt' en dat haar gezicht een paar maanden later op het omslag van Vogue prijkte; dat ze samenwerkte met beroemde illustratoren, fotografen en kunstenaars en hen tot nieuwe werken inspireerde; en bovenal dat ze tegen de tijdgeest in zelf de camera oppakte en uitgroeide tot toonaangevend fotograaf.

Lee Miller (1907-1977) had many lives: she was a model, muse, photographer, war correspondent and Surrealist chef. It is well known that she was 'discovered' on the street at nineteen and that her face appeared on the cover of Vogue a few months later, that she inspired numerous famous illustrators, photographers and artists, and that she flouted convention by picking up a camera and making a name for herself with seductive fashion photos, Surrealist experiments and penetrating war reports.
Eugène Vernier - Fashion, femininity & form
, Hirmer, 2012 Hardcover with dust jacket, 192 pag. ENG. 290 x 240 mm, Illustr. dustjacket, NEW, pictures in b/w. ISBN 9783777451510.
Vernier was innovative in his choice of locations and in the way he captured their essence in his backgrounds. But most especially his skill was in the way he composed his shots, blending the elements of the model, the clothes, moment and place. Uninterested in the cult of celebrity, he regarded himself as a craftsman in the trade of fashion photography, seeking to bring out the very best of every element. The Vernier ?look? is one of femininity; he captured his models when they were relaxed, enjoying wearing the clothes and confident that the photographer would only show both model and clothes at their best. He saw himself as working not only for the magazine, but also for the clothes and accessories makers, and most especially for the readers of Vogue. Within the frame, he was an artist. For most of Vernier?s time at Vogue, the vast majority of the imagery was in black and white, (and the reader was given a description of the missing colours). His choice reveals much about the secrets of his composition, not so much in the positioning of the elements, but in the sense of movement he brought to the image. Vernier was born in 1920 in southern France. During the war he worked as a war correspondent and a newsreel cameraman, documenting the exploits of the Free French forces under General de Gaulle. He worked for Pathé News in London, before opening his own London studio as a freelance photographer.
